What folly's place said I wouldn't get a a horse for a few years instead I would spend a lot of time at a good trainer places stable and riding there horses and helping and then when you do get a horse have the person come with you when you go to look at them or if they have one you really like they would sell to you but I wouldn't actually buy a horse just yetOkay y'all seem to know alot about horse's what breed would you recommend for a beginner?
For a beginner, riding lessons, at least a year, and helping in a good barn. Experience!
Then, maybe a nice older 'been there, done that' horse, perhaps one you've met and enjoyed at the barn already.
Getting overfaced and overmounted is not good! And having enough money to spend on such a horse won't end well. If the trainer says 'only ride him when I'm there' it's too much horse for where you are.
